This pisses me off intensely. We’re treated like burdens when we need help - “Can’t work? Fuck you, you leech, we’re stopping your benefits.” Need medical treatment? I’ve had multiple medical professionals complain to me about how much my meds cost the country and try to stop giving them to me - not on medical grounds but purely on cost grounds.

But can we be allowed to die peacefully with dignity? NO! The only deaths we’re allowed are starving to death like Mark Wood and Errol Graham, who starved to death after their disability benefits were stopped, DIY suicide like Jodey Whiting, who killed herself in despair after her benefits were stopped, or die of exposure after becoming homeless like Richard O’Brien and Ian Roberts. And many, many others.

The state treats me like such a burden I have to beg strangers for food. So politicians need to stop pretending they care or that they don’t see us as a burden.
